  You appear to have an agenda here. Please read the original comment in its entirety, beyond the first half of the two sentences you misleadingly quote. > municipalities own (most of) the networks and all the fiber cables, letting companies use them for a small(ish) fee. > For example, I have 250/100 mbit/s for free. My rent pays for this. He pays rent to the landlord, the landlord pays the broadband company for service to all the apartments, the broadband company pays the municipality to use the fibre network. The fibre network might have used tax money initially, or it might have been laid with income from usage fees from other areas. There's no ongoing use of tax money for the network.
